Answer:
Ad hominem attack
Explanation:
A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning.
Ad hominem (literally translated as <em>to the person</em>) is a type of logical fallacy in which a person criticizes or attacks another person, rather than what they are saying. Here, the speaker doesn't critize the mentioned poem. They don't give explanations about why the poem is not good. They simply attack the writer, stating that they are a sick and morbid person. That is not a valid reason as to why someone shouldn't read a poem.
The correct answer is "It is best described as an anecdote".
We consider an anecdote to be a personal account or retelling of a particular event or incident. The key word here is "personal". In the example given, we clearly see how <u>the point of view is from the protagonist of a certain personal experience he had and the way he felt about it, constituting it as an anecdote.</u>
We don't know for a fact Utopians don't care about riches, because we're only getting a single man's experience which in addition, cannot be proven.
An analogy recquires some sort of strong comparisson of metaphor that isn't really present in this excerpt.
